Hallo! Coming over from Aug '13 with a few questions...
Now that y'all's LOs are 1--are they off the bottle? Night weaned? 3 meals a day & 2 snacks?
So my little man is 9 mo, and the pedi says he needs to be doing all those things by 1 year. Seems fairly standard. But I'm not sure how to get there. Make any sense?!
He is crappy w a sippy cup. Wil feed himself, but it mostly ends up on the floor. Doesn't want 3 meals. And loves night boob.
Or are all these things like "the baby should STTN by 4 mo," good ideas in theory but crap IRL.
Thanks ladies!
PS I apologize if you've all talked these issues to death. I'm mobile 99% of the time and it's kinda hard to shift through everything.
Re: Popping over from the other A13
Yes to all the above. We skipped the sippy cup and went straight to a straw cup. I totally agree with @melandjames14. It's a gradual process and you have plenty of time, but your LO will get there.

He drinks out of an open cup pretty well (I have to hold it for him, obviously) and eats 3 meals a day (snacks are only occasional), but sometimes a "meal" is three green beans or a few penne noodles and that's it. And food still gets thrown on the floor (though that now ends the meal).
Don't be too worried if your LO is not that interested in table food yet, or if he makes a huge mess. It's a gradual process. If any of the things you mention really, really bother you, pick the one that bothers you the most and work on that one thing as much as you can.

I wasn't sure if this boob/bottle to food transition would be another battle id have to work on. If there was anything I could do now to make it easier. But this seems like it's easier of a transition.
